It’s Official
Kanye West outsells 50 Cent. Will 50 retire?
I think not. The money is too good. You have to tip your hat to the two of them though for breathing some life into mainstream hip hop by making album sales relevant again. The friendly and competitive statements issued by these two artists remind me of the angry and ultra competitive exchanges between Death Row Records and Bad Boy Entertainment in the 90s.
The public loves controversy.
Whenever something is in the news and immediately jumps into your morning conversation at work, there is someone sitting in a marketing department office stroking their beard with a grin on their face. Genius Publicity sells buzz. Buzz generates into cash sales. Kanye and 50 are enjoying major buzz right now.
Congratulations Kanye!
